FREE PORTLAND EVENTS: We give out 100s of $$$ infree tickets every week including to many of the top events venues in Portland. Join our email list if you like free stuff------------

All day show with the Dandy Warhols, 16 other bands and 3 DJs to stand united in support of democracy and Portlanders’ right to voteon water fluoridation.

This event will represent Portland in her truest form, and send a message to our government that the artists and citizensof Portland are willing to stand up to them when they are not serving our city and her people they way they should be.

Besides that, it’s gonna be one helluva fun mini festival! Tons of music and performance artists, food carts, raffles and all kinds of creative, good-spirited family fun!

The city council’s decision to put fluoride in the water without taking it to a vote with the citizens just illustrates the corrupt nature of the so called government in this city. Anything that let’s it known we are not happy about having our voice snuffed is worth attending! It’ll be my birthday too!

Great music, great cause, and as always, free is greatly appreciated!! I serve students and community members everyday to help keep them safe and healthy, so the more education on the topic the better…thanks!

I want to support this event and be there to find more opportunities to support this issue, but I’m one of those thousands of marginally employed young adults and can’t afford a $20 cover if I want to eat this month! sad face

As a hydrology major I believe in being part of discussions about public drinking water, and I believe that it is important to know what you are putting in your body and how it affects you. Also rock on dandies?

I would like to attend to support this great cause, giving people the right to decide for themselves what goes in there bodies, and not being forced by government to drink unhealthy flouridated water. Even if this was not a benefit, still a great lineup of bands, many of which I haven’t seen. I want to go, am totally broke awaiting my unemployment. Please pick me!

No matter how you feel about fluoride, it is insanity to pay to put expensive chemicals in our water that will end up in our toilets, showers, washing machines, car washes, irrigation systems, and other places where water is not consumed by children.

Children in preschools and public schools in Portland can get free fluoride tablets each day as well as subsidized dental care those in grave need. Kids outside the school system have access to free fluoride and dental care though many public agencies.

Most toothpastes have fluoride. There is no dearth of opportunities to ingest fluoride if you want it.

Also, there are people everywhere who need all manner of medications and treatments, but we don’t put those drugs in our water supply. How about chemicals that make you happy all the time. That would be in the public’s best interest, right? But we don’t do that. It’s not up to the government to drug us through our water supply.

This is an agenda driven by big business, nothing more. The citizens have a right to say which chemicals and drugs are added to the public water supply. Please show up and learn more about the precious water supply that Portland has, and why it should not be tainted by big business.

P.S. I will be attending with my family, but if I were to win the tickets, please give them to one of these folks who is having a hard time financially. It is important that you be there and that your opinion be represented. Thanks!
